PEGGING-JACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,506, datedSeptember 23, 1884.

(No model.)

' exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figuresof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specifieation.

My invention has, relation to boot or shoe jacks, and has for its objecta jack by which the boot or shoe may be easily clamped onto the jack andthe parts be retained in such clamped position.

To this end it consists, essentially, in the combination of the serratedlaststandard, the

lever, the ring encircling the standard, and

the-link for connecting the ring and lever, all constructedsubstantially as hereinafter more fully set forth. i

The drawings represent in perspective a jack constructed according to myinvention.

The standard A is usually provided with a base, A. The forward edge ofthis standard, near its lower end, is formed with a vertical series ofserrations, a, fitted to be engaged by the ring, presently described. Onthe stand ard I mount a last, B, which may be formed with the standardor removably secured thereto, as may be desirable, for the purpose ofusing different lasts on the same standard. Lever O is pivoted to thestandard above the serrations. and projects forward, as shown. A strap,D, is connected with this lever, and is carried over the last so it maybe used to clamp the boot or shoe thereon. 0n the stand ard, below thelever, I place ring E, which is made of a size suited to permit itsmovement along the standard when held at right angles thereto; but wheninclined, as shown, its forward edge will engage the serrations a. A

log or wing, 6, projects forward from the ring I and has pivoted to itthe lower end of link F, the upper end of which is pivotally connectedwith the lever O.

In operation, when the boot or shoe is on the last thestrap D is loopedover same, and the lever C is pressed hard down, the ring E sliding downon the standard. The pressure on the lever is slightly decreased, and itmoves upward a short distance, bringing the ring into the inclinedposition shown and into engagement with serrations a.

I prefer in practice to employ the serrations a, and to make the ringwith part c, as by so doing the parts bind more certainly, and the ringis more quickly brought into the desired inclined position, It ismanifest, however, that the standard might be made without serrations,and 'the ring E without part c, and that good results will be attainedby such coir struction. y I

My invention is simple, can be cheaply made, and efficiently used forthe desired purpose. 7

I prefer to connect the last on the standard by means of an angulartenon projected from one of said parts into acorresponding mortise orsocket on the other.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with the last-holding standard and the lever pivotedthereto, of the stop-ring encircling the standard below thelever and alink connecting said ring andlcver, substantially as set forth. v

2. The combination, in a shoe jac-lgwith the standard provided on itsforward edge with a series of serrations,of the leverpivoted to andextended forward from the standard, the ring placed on the standard andhaving a ring or lug projected radially from its forward edge, and alinkconnecting said leverand ring, substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

3. The shoe-jack herein described,comprising the standard provided onitsforward edge near its lower end with a series of serrations, the jackmounted on the standard, the lever pivoted to the standard above theserrations and extended forward therefrom, the strap carried from thelever over the last, the ring sliding on the standard and adapted toengage the serrations, and the linlgconneeting the ring and lever,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I a'fiiX my signatureiu presence of two witnesses.
